Kitchen Remodeling

Sue asked:


I’d like a kitchen cart to match my cabinets, but can’t find anything. Could I just buy a base cabinet and add casters to the bottom? I’m not sure how the bottom of a cabinet is constructed and whether there would be a place to screw in the casters.

I realize I’d have to finish the back of the cabinet and do something about the toekick area.

Lauren J asked:


We bought a house and the kitchen cabinets (along with all other wood surfaces in the house) are covered with a weird white-yellow crust that scratches off. I’m pretty sure it’s MInwax (found a small can of it in the garage that was nearly empty). Like I said, you can scratch it off but I’m hoping there’s an easier way. I’ve scrubbed my arm off and I’ve barely made a dent. Any ideas?

If you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, you know how much of a hassle it can be to stretch to reach items, not have enough storage space, or to have to try to wedge an item into a cabinet that is just not big enough. Renovating your kitchen with custom kitchen cabinets can not only give your kitchen an entirely new look but can also make your kitchen a much easier place to work as well.

Cabinet Doors

The first step in customizing your New Jersey kitchen cabinets is to decide which type of cabinet door you prefer. There are four basic types of cabinet door shapes you can choose from.

Slab cabinet doors have a flat style front without a recessed or raised profile. Slab cabinet doors works very well with simple New Jersey kitchen cabinets and kitchens to embrace a minimalist style.

Raised panel doors feature a picture frame profile that has either mortise and tendon joints or miter joints.

Raised panel doors are constructed with numerous sections of wood that are joined together.

Routed cabinet doors provide the appearance of panels that are recessed or raised and are typically made from fiberboard or a similar material.

Selecting A Wood Species

After you’ve chosen the type of door you prefer, you’ll need to select a wood species. There are so man woods a New Jersey homeowner can choose from today that you’re sure to find a look that fits your kitchen and lifestyle. If you’re creating a green home, or want to use as many sustainable products as you can, consider bamboo cabinets. (Bamboo regenerates within three years, and so is considered an eco-friendly wood alternative.) On the other hand, if you crave a warm and sunny look, then traditional hardwood or even reclaimed wood is a great choice for your New Jersey kitchen cabinets.

MyCabinetry designs and installs custom cabinetry for many New Jersey homeowners looking to remodel their kitchens. Meet with one of our consultants today to discuss ways to create custom cabinetry you’ll love.

Many people take pride in the way in which their homes look, particularly the kitchen, among other places as this is a reflection of one’s personal style and taste and it also says a lot as this is the space in which one chooses to spend a lot of their time. The way in which things are arranged and decorated is a reflection of the space in which one feels comfortable to spend a lot of their time in. One’s personal inner attributes and character is silently expressed by simple everyday items such as oak kitchen cabinets in this way.

It is a relatively simple analogy to understand that your inner attributes are constantly and strongly expressed in the way in which you choose to decorate your home and by the type of furniture you choose to display, be it oak kitchen cabinets or an unusually colored couch. One’s personal style and personal taste tends to automatically manifest itself in all of the home possessions on display in and around the house as this reflects the kind of things that one associates with their comfort zone.

An area of specialty in this regard is the kitchen cabinets that are important as they form a more permanent part of the whole concept of home décor essentials. All homes in fact do not bear the ‘homely’ feeling usually and traditionally associated with the kitchen, without kitchen cabinets. There is a vast amount of diversity in a simple unit such as a kitchen cabinet and there are various different styles, tastes and preferences including the likes of oak kitchen cabinets, which are very popular because of their quality and style.

Oak kitchen cabinets are a good trend to follow in the practice of home decoration and furnishing as they bear very unique characteristics that come with the oak itself. Oak kitchen cabinets will last a very, very long time and will in actual fact stand through many, many generations. They are relatively easy to maintain and very easy to clean, so not much trouble will come with the acquisition of oak kitchen cabinets. Oak itself is a very strong type of wood, which insures quality, and is also very beautiful to look at.

There are various service providers that offer products such as oak kitchen cabinets and the installation thereof and one who is seeking such services has a relatively wide variety to choose from in that regard. It is however, of utmost importance for one to make positively sure that they acquire the services of one that is accredited and competent in their operations as the final product will form a permanent part of their everyday life. One should therefore search carefully and consider all options available to them.

The secret to attaining satisfaction in products such as oak kitchen cabinets lies in the choice of service providers. One should make certain that they choose a service provider who knows what they are doing and is competent in that regard. One such product and service provider is Kitchen Pro and their various products and additional services that are very useful are available on line at www.kitchenpro.com.

Carmen Fontana asked:


The U.S. Kitchen Cabinets & Countertops Manufacturing industry recently released its 2009 Trendology report, which conducts a trend analysis in kitchen cabinets and kitchen countertops. So what are some the trends home owners can expect to see in the kitchen cabinets and countertops manufacturing sphere this upcoming year? The answer depends on who you ask.

With spending down and Americans worrying so much about the state of the economy, frivolous is out and functionality seems to be in. It is, however, possible to get the best of both worlds. Home and Garden television (HGTV) predicts that kitchen cabinet trends will marry style with function. The producer of the show “The Best in Kitchens and Baths,” HGTV says, “Furniture-grade materials and custom add-ons create cabinets that perform beautifully without sacrificing style. “

Because kitchen cabinets are often the most prized component of the room, “their design and aesthetics can make or break the entire room’s overall appearance.” Therefore, it’s important not to sacrifice quality for the sake of price. At the same time, kitchen cabinets don’t have to break the bank. Indeed, quality, built-to-order cabinetry can be had for every budget.

Look for a kitchen cabinet manufacturer that offers a wide selection of door styles, optional storage solutions and decorative enhancements. That way you can customize the kitchen cabinets that fit within the needs of both your family and your budget. Wood species, finish, storage solutions and moldings will all factor into the overall cost of your kitchen cabinets, so selecting a kitchen cabinet manufacturer with a wide array of options is your best bet.

Another kitchen cabinet trend HGTV sees taking a firm hold in the marketplace is an overall one “toward furniture-grade cabinets.” This one is a direct offshoot of the function over style one. “Now consumers are turning their attention toward more particular aspects, such as pull-out waste cans, slide-out towel bars and pull-down shelves. This … points to an overall customization movement that puts as much emphasis on function as it does on form.”

A leading kitchen cabinet manufacturer will afford homeowners a unique and eclectic array of storage solutions. Sink base door storage units, Contempo floor mount wastebasket cabinets, stainless utensil trays, sliding towel bars, sink base door storage units, base wastebasket top mounts, paper towel holders, base wastebasket cabinets, sink base door storage units and top mount wastebaskets are just some of the kitchen cabinet add-on features that are appealing to today’s homeowners.

According to a 2002 survey conducted by the National Kitchen and Bath Association, “Wood-finished cabinets are still the style of choice,” representing about 80 percent of all cabinets purchased. But as a final trend, HGTV points out that homeowners “are opting for a more casual appearance overall. Many of these have multi-step finishes and glazes to make them look like antiques that have weathered generations of use.” If this trend describes you, look for a leading kitchen cabinet manufacturer that offers a wide range of kitchen cabinet wood species, kitchen cabinet door shapes and kitchen cabinet wood finishes. Standard and premium finishes and glazes complement any design style.

Stupe asked:


We’re looking a new home and the depth of the kitchen cabinets barely fits a normal sized (10″) dinner plate. What’s normal/standard?
So, the cabinets that are less than 12″ are cheap / sub-standard and we should probably not buy the house unless we (me - the mom) want to suffer with small chincy cabinets - that’s what I’m trying to tell my husband!!!!

Fireplace Design Ideas

Lee Dobbins asked:


Are your kitchen cabinets and counter tops an eye sore? Or maybe plain jane? Do you have a kitchen which looks very clean and organized but when the cabinets open all the things inside start tumbling out? Do you have a new house that needs a handsome kitchen to go along with it?

Once of the main focus in planning the interiors of the house is the kitchen. This area is always given much consideration since a lot of important things are done in the kitchen. So you need to look at your concept very well looking particularly on budget and over all look.

Before you buy or have your kitchen cabinets and counter tops done the way you like consider a few things such as: – How small or huge is my area for the kitchen? – Do I need a lot of cabinets? – What will I put inside the cabinets (so you will know what kind of cabinet organizers to put inside) – Should I consider high end materials? – What main colors and theme will I want to use for my kitchen? – Will I be cooking a lot here? Or will just be heating a lot of frozen items in the microwave? – How many cooks stay in the house? – Is having an island in my kitchen more functional for me? – Can I afford moderately high end pieces? – What type of designs do I want for my cabinets? – What kitchen equipments will I use (ex. Stoves and Ovens)? – What materials do I want to see in my kitchen (ex. Marble or granite)? – How do I want my knobs to look like? – Do I want my hinges to be visible? – Should drawer slides be considered? – What type of sink will I put in my kitchen? Will it match the overall theme? – How tall do I want my counters to be? – How high should my cabinets be? – Is my counter top durable? Scratch free? Presentable? Is it safe for children when they around and hit the edges? – Is my main focus for the kitchen just for aesthetics or will I actually need to use the area? – Do I need shelves or do I want my shelves inside the cabinets?

A lot of kitchen cabinets are available on the market today all you just need to know and think of is how you want to your kitchen to mainly look like and most importantly you need to consider your budget. You don’t to have the high end pieces just to have a posh looking kitchen you just need to have a good eye for nice and beautiful things and you will be on your way to that great looking kitchen.

There are cabinets and counter tops that are already almost finished and will just be placed in your kitchen you can consider this or you may want something done exactly as your ‘vision kitchen’. You may also need to consider if you need someone else to do it for you or if you can do it yourself.

If you have old kitchen cabinets and counter tops you can consider to have it remodeled, replaced, refaced or refinished (if you are on a very tight budget). Remember to have good shelving in your cabinets if you have old ones that are about to collapse change them now and don’t wait for the day you precious plates increase in number but n small fragments. There are great cabinet organizers available on the market today consider them and see which will work best with your needs. Replace your old hinges specially if your cabinet doors are falling apart or have been there for a century already.

Remember good planning and budgeting is the key for your perfect dream kitchen. Your kitchen cabinets and counter tops are the focal point in every kitchen it must always look presentable, unique, simple and organized. So research well and put your dreams into reality. After all you will be spending a lot of time and money to put it together and another long hour using it.

Get that dream kitchen. Get the right kitchen cabinets and counter tops.

When you choose to remodel your kitchen with a custom kitchen cabinet, you are opening the door to a world of style, color and wood choices to name just a few. You can literally draw a picture of the cabinet that you want, and a craftsman will be able to construct our custom kitchen cabinet.

You will have many convenience options available to you as well, when you opt to use a custom kitchen cabinet. Do you want a cabinet with a pull-out spice rack; perhaps you would like a waste paper basket cabinet. You can have your custom kitchen cabinet with a mixer cabinet or even a home recycling center. The possibilities are restricted only by your imagination and your requirements when you are shopping for a custom kitchen cabinet team of craftsmen.

You dont necessarily have to replace your cabinets, there is always the less expensive alternative of a custom kitchen cabinet refacing with all the advantages of a custom kitchen cabinet. Not only will this be lighter on your pocketbook, it will take less time to install than if you replace your old cabinets.

You will be offered the same wide range of choices if you decide on refacing instead of replacing. You or a trained draftsman will take measurements of your kitchen and present you with a design plan for your approval. You will be able to customize your choices at a fraction of the cost of a conventional remodeling job.

Your existing doors and cabinets will be removed and then the veneer to the outside of your cabinets is applied. Then your brand new cabinet doors, drawers and complete hardware are installed, and you have a brand new kitchen. Refacing is not the same as kitchen cabinet staining or refurbishing. But refacing will give your kitchen a new personality in less time than traditional kitchen remodeling.

If you like the way it looks, you might think of adding more features. You can include new countertops, extra cabinets; roll out shelves or even a kitchen island. This will help to increase the value of your home and your enjoyment of spending time cooking and cleaning in your brand new kitchen.
